Embracing Uncertainty to Resolve Polar Wander: A Case Study of Cenozoic North America

L. C. Gallo, M. Domeier, F. Sapienza, N. L. Swanson-Hysell, B. Vaes, Y. Zhang, M. Arnould, A. Eyster, D. Gurer, A. Kiraly, B. Robert, T. Rolf, G. Shephard, A. van der Boon

Summary: Our understanding of Earth's paleogeography relies heavily on paleomagnetic apparent polar wander paths, but conventional approaches to APWP construction have significant limitations. In this study, we address these challenges with a new methodology that operates on site-level paleomagnetic data and demonstrate its effectiveness using a compilation of Cenozoic data from North America. Our results show that high-resolution APWPs can be generated, providing unprecedented insights into Earth's deep time evolution.

Experimental investigation of the uncertainty principle for radial degrees of freedom

Zhihe Zhang, Dongkai Zhang, Xiaodong Qiu, Yuanyuan Chen, Sonja Franke-Arnold, Lixiang Chen

Summary: This paper establishes a rigorous uncertainty principle for the radial degree of freedom of transverse light modes by using logarithmic radial position and hyperbolic momentum. It identifies a set of radial intelligent states that satisfy the equality and illustrates the principle with various intelligent states and suitable radial profiles. The radial uncertainty relation fills the missing piece in characterizing optical quantum measurements and provides a new platform for fundamental tests and applications of quantum optics.

The relentless variability of Mrk 421 from the TeV to the radio

A. Arbet-Engels, D. Baack, M. Balbo, A. Biland, M. Blank, T. Bretz, K. Bruegge, M. Bulinski, J. Buss, M. Doerr, D. Dorner, D. Elsaesser, D. Hildebrand, K. Mannheim, S. A. Mueller, D. Neise, M. Noethe, A. Paravac, W. Rhode, B. Schleicher, K. Sedlaczek, A. Shukla, V. Sliusar, R. Walter, E. von Willert

Summary: The origin of the y-ray emission of the blazar Mrk 421 is still debated. Utilizing 5.5 years of unbiased observing campaign data, researchers found that TeV and X-ray light curves are highly correlated with a lag of <0.6 days, while GeV and radio light curves are widely and strongly correlated with GeV variations leading those in the radio. Models predicting proton acceleration or cooling timescales were ruled out in favor of leptonic models.

Experimental investigation of the angular symmetry of optical force in a solid dielectric

Xiang Xi, Jingwen Ma, Zhong-Hao Zhou, Xin-Xin Hu, Yuan Chen, Chang-Ling Zou, Chun-Hua Dong, Xiankai Sun

Summary: The experimental investigation showed that the optical force exerted by a Gaussian beam inside a solid dielectric displays angular symmetry, with components having different angular mode numbers. This result cannot be solely explained by the Lorentz or Einstein-Laub formulations but requires a combination of Lorentz force with additional electrostrictive force for explanation.

Cryptocurrency Momentum and VIX premium

Hsuan-Ling Chang, Wei-Ying Nie, Li-Han Chang, Hung-Wen Cheng, Kuang-Chieh Yen

Summary: This paper investigates the predictability of changes in cryptocurrency momentum premiums by VIX, VIX premium, and economic policy uncertainty (EPU). The empirical analysis shows that higher VIX premiums can increase the one-month-ahead momentum premium, while VIX and EPU levels are not predictors of momentum premiums. Overall, it is demonstrated that uncertainty can affect the cryptocurrency momentum premium through VIX futures rather than VIX itself or news-based information (i.e., EPU).

Can small-scale baryon inhomogeneities resolve the Hubble tension? An investigation with ACT DR4

Leander Thiele, Yilun Guan, J. Colin Hill, Arthur Kosowsky, David N. Spergel

Summary: Small-scale inhomogeneities in baryon density around recombination have been suggested as a solution to discrepancies in Hubble constant determinations. Predictions from baryon clumping models were tested using data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, but no evidence of baryon clumping was found. The inferred Hubble constant remains significantly different from measurements by SHOES.

Amplification of the status quo bias among physicians making medical decisions

Adrian R. Camilleri, Sunita Sah

Summary: The study found that experts, specifically physicians, are more likely to be influenced by status quo bias when making decisions in their field of expertise, leading to an amplification of the bias. This has important implications for practice as it suggests that experts may need to be more aware of this bias and take steps to mitigate its effects.

THE PROFESSIONALISM PARADOX: A SENSE OF PROFESSIONALISM INCREASES VULNERABILITY TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Sunita Sah

Summary: Professionalism is highly valued in the workplace, but it may have a dark side. A strong belief in professionalism can paradoxically lead to unethical behavior and conflicts of interest. This article suggests integrating both intrinsic and extrinsic approaches, and redefining professionalism as a set of consistently repeated practices rather than a character trait.

When Science Becomes Embroiled in Conflict: Recognizing the Public's Need for Debate while Combating Conspiracies and Misinformation

Stephan Lewandowsky, Konstantinos Armaos, Hendrik Bruns, Philipp Schmid, Dawn Liu Holford, Ulrike Hahn, Ahmed Al-Rawi, Sunita Sah, John Cook

Summary: This article explores the common attributes of political conflicts where scientific findings play a central role, using the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and vaccines as examples. The analysis focuses on situations where the spread of disinformation or conspiracy theories undermines public trust in scientists and hinders evidence-based policymaking. It also discusses cases where opposition to scientifically grounded policies arises from legitimate value judgments and personal experiences. The authors advocate for the prompt recognition of politically motivated science denial and the immunization of the public against its detrimental effects.
